Q I have a standing job in Dong-gu, Incheon. How often should I come in?
A Early on we use acupuncture and moxibustion once or twice a week to lift circulation, and check body composition and swelling every two weeks. Once stable, we widen the interval and raise the share of lifestyle management. At the first visit we set a realistic plan around your working pattern.
Detailed Answer
Because leg swelling depends heavily on the working environment, what happens between visits decides the result. Recording the state of your legs after work makes adjustment far more accurate. Lunch breaks and after-work hours are commonly used.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
Missing a week does not break the process. If you keep raising your legs, doing heel raises and reducing evening salt, we can continue from where we left off at your next visit.
